My question is why do so many coaches challenge a TD like that when it would only put the ball at the 1 or 2 anyway
Risking a time-out. More often then not, the offense is going to punch it in when they have 1st and goal from the 2. But if a call doesn’t get overturned and the team loses the time out, that could cost them points at the end of the half

Jahvid needs 1 more TD to tie Blount for the Pac10 TD title...
He needs two more for 17 TDs… which would make him the leader

Doesn't that only count for in-season?
If I’m not mistaken… Same for the rushing title and any other statistic

I don't think so
Because there was talks about if Quizz could re-take the rushing title in the Sun Bowl (before knowing he was out), and it was researched and found that Best had won the rushing title in the Washington game

Actually bowl stats do count towards season stats. Unless that’s changed from 2001-02 season.
It's spelled "S-H-U-C-F-A-D-O-D-N-C-S"
